![]() MAS (Maritime Assault Suit) Grey was introduced by London Bridge Trading as a color variant that would provide optimum environmental blending for Navy SEALs to wear while conducting VBSS (vessel boarding search and seizure) and maritime operations. Several sites offer the following description: They’re durable and aesthetically pleasing, and Berto is dreamy. Plus, if you’re wearing patches at all, say good bye camouflage lol.We’re also a little gay for DEFCON’s products. The second two look like what tactical-kinda-people think is low profile. No disrespect meant to the companies listed (they make great products) but while both provide good features for the user, the first two actually look like what someone who knows nothing about the tactical world might wear and carry. When I think grey man clothing with utility, I would rather wear a black Scottvest jacket and pants with Blackhawk Diversion Carry Backpack than a TAD Stealth Hoodie with Grey Ghost Gear Stealth Operator Pack in grey. Not the exact same but enough so that it gives your nose a twitch when someone looks like a walking catalog from a certain company (think 5.11 tuxedo). industries so I understand why Arcteryx’s Gamma softshell would catch my eye the same way their LEAF softshell would. This industry is influenced by the civilian rock climbing, camping, etc. What’s funny is that the outdoorsman/climber clothes also catch my attention. Any military colors or patterns do the same including the more subtle khakis, greys, Ranger Greens, etc. When I’m on the subway anything MOLLE pretty much catches my eye. There’s a difference between blending in color-wise but being easy to notice due to clothing choices vs not being noticed at all because your clothing and appearance don’t stick out at all (think undercover cop). Just my opinion but finding the perfect color won’t be as useful as making clothes and equipment that looks more normal.

To quote Monkey’s own article: “Although concrete starts out some sort of grey, the outside is a dirty place and dirt tends to be brown.” Monkey took a look at various shades of grey being used by industry manufacturers, and found that, generally, they’re too cool, too medium, too “charcoal” to work well in an urban environment. Monkey starting seriously looking into what makes the best urban grey due to a number of complaints resulting from MSM’s use of a warm, almost brown grey for their patches. But which shade of grey is the best? That’s a question MilSpec Monkey is looking to answer. ![]() The argument for it is simple grey makes for a great neutral color that works very well in urban environments. Grey is the new Black in the tactical industry, with practically every gear and clothing company producing their own grey kit. ![]()
